While further from the action and sufficiently more expensive, accommodations outside of Quito are definitely worth checking out if your schedule, and budget, allow.For the most part, these hotels aren’t your usual South American hard mattress, breakfast-not-included types of places. Rather, you are more likely to find authentic haciendas, luxurious spa accommodations, ecological reserves and lodges. These locales not just for sleeping, but for full relaxation, for day-trip exploration, and for a taste of Ecuador outside, but still within reach, of the hustle and bustle of the capital city.
